Episode: 011: Darkest Gaze.

 Entering through a red thick Curtain into the elegance view of a palace. Golden round pillars, tiles that reflect, dark ominous music playing. The two walked in and at the sight of Lord Satoru, legs crossed to the floor on a pillow and fire burning around him but didn't affect him.

 Lord Satoru is a tall, pale man with dark hair and a serious expression. His eyes are covered by his plague doctor mask, but he is known for having intimidating and piercing eyes. His distinctive outfit also features long, black, leather gloves with metal accents. As for his personality, Lord Satoru is known for being ruthless, cold, and calculating. He is a man of few words, and he often speaks in a calm and measured tone, even when he's making threats.

 known for his distinctive style of dress, which features a black, button-down shirt with a red tie and long sleeves, along with black trousers and boots. He also has a red and dark plague doctor mask with a beak, which adds to his intimidating appearance.

 He sat in the middle of the engulfed flames and had his hand to his chin as though he was thinking or resting. He had an expressionless face on as he stared from his alter at Akaza and Amon, bowing down in a bakazba manner. It involves the knees to the ground, shoulders, face and body buried to the ground and hands touching the floor. They did as usual and looked up to him, still kneeling down.

"Care to explain to me, where Abyzou is? He snapped looking at them. The demon girl was behind them, watching as it all unfolded.

"It's…Amon's fault! Akaza snapped and flashed a look at Amon who was burning with fury at his answer.

"My lord…She made way out of the underworld and –

"Am sorry…did miss something? He asked looking at them both. Amon groaned but kept still, he clearly knew what Akaza was trying to do and that was to paint him black. "I came hone o find out that my bride is gone…and now listen to both of you blame each other for your own messy act!

"Actually, Lord Satoru-

"Shut up! He snapped and a great eminence of pressure threw their heads back to the ground hard and they never came back up. Struggling to withstand the gaze of death that had it hands on them. Akaza had already drew blood out of his mouth as the pressure, Lord Satoru's gaze possessed was heavy. The more he stared at them the more it increased, it was one of his ability. Fear is it? Forcing fear on his opponents and it was hard to resist, no matter how strong you are.

 Amon eventually realized he had to say something else, they might end up go as dead. He gambled with his thought and without raising his head, he snapped out loud.

"I know where she is? We tired to get her back but….(stutters as the fear intensified) but she was with a Visionary. Denzel could be- (gagged) Denzel could be there too. He managed to say as he felt his heart about to implode.

"She's stuck? He asked releasing them from his gaze.

"Yes my Lord. It's pretty hard to get her out as Denzel is always around the kid, Guru! Akaza snapped in after being quickly for a while.

 He stared at them for a while with those piercing red eyes, with a round flaming pupil. He let his hand down from his chin and looked at the demon girl who also was down on her knees but a bit behind them. "Leave us! He muttered to them both. " The next time I give you a job and you disappoint me…I would make sure that even in the heavens and in hell, you have no home! Now, remove your fifthly selves from my sight! He ordered and they quickly got to there feet after another short bow.

"Yes my Lord! They chorused and walked out, exiting through the same thick red curtain.

 Echoes of silence was heard as he kept puzzling about in his head before glancing at the demon girl, who remained. "Tone me to death…Uramaki". He snapped at her and she rose to her feet. Drawing out her cello, from the depths of the ground, hence an illuminati sign was drawn and ready to play a song. It was the only way, he got calmed and she was his therapist using her songs as the therapy. As she played one of his usual favorites, he drew out a scarf and blindfolded himself.

"Where are you Guru? He muttered as Uramaki played on and the flames cracked.

 As the sky rumbled with flash of lightning, Guru was all ready asleep. Tucked into his long bed spread, lying and snoring carelessly on his king sized bed, when he heard a cracking noise of something. It flowed with a slow tapping and a distorted figure stood by the walls. The room was dark, but he managed to pull his eyes open, from the look of it…someone was in there. Slowly, he got up and stared at the figure, which supposedly stared back at him. Looking to the left, on his desk cabin was a lamp and back at the figure, which returned distorted.

"Whose there? Guru snapped as he was ready to flash the light on. The sound of trembling thunder, lightening flash sent a touch of light to the room. It was a monster or anything, it look human…like a man or a penguin man.

"So you are being who possess Abyzou? I will ensure you death is not worth the struggle, Guru. He said in a cold witty voice that sent shivers down Guru's spine.

"Who the hell are- before he could round up his words, he figured that he couldn't move his legs. Something or someone was holding them, quickly he rolled the blank over and caught the sight of black, dirty hands of demons cloaking him on his legs.

 In an attempt to shake them off, he had his shoulder, face and body pinned down by an assumed python, which just came out of nowhere…supposedly from his bed sheets and back into his bed sheets. There seemed to be a dark, slump portal that allowed the long thick python to do that easily and it was already on his bed. He felt it wrap around his neck, choking his slowly as he gagged on for air. Banging his heads to the bed, attempting to pull out but it was too thick and he had no slight chance of getting out of here.

"Too bad, you really sleep a lot". The supposed pigeon man said.

 He was trying to wave it off, banging and banging his head on the bed as he saw a bright light approaching. Clinically, this meant death wasn't far away. The sight of Abyzou's void of darkness was in reach but his sight of her was blurry. Gagging, banging and attempting to push on when he felt a quick bang on the pillow to his head.

 He pushes himself up and awake as the hitting of pillow to the head came again. "Wake up! Guru!!! The voice snapped at him. He shook himself awake and the choking stopped automatically, he drew himself up from the bed. Panting and breathing heavily as the sight of Denzel in his nightwear a that stripped of blue.

"Hey, wake up! Denzel snapped again, still hitting his head even though he was awake.

"I-I am alive". He managed to say as he held his neck and looked at the corner, expecting to his the pigeon man but he wasn't there. It was a dream, but it felt so real as though he was about to get strangled by a sick, he barely could see the face.

"Huh? Denzel grasped in awe as he couldn't picture what just happened.

"I…I had a dream ( pauses to catch a breather again) There was a man standing right there (points to the corner of the room and Denzel looks at it, examining the situation) He had some kind of a pigeon look on his face or some thing, he tried to kill me". Guru snapped still breathing heavily.

"Pigeon man? Denzel said with a look of disbelief. "it's a dream". He assured as he pulled himself back to the right side of his bed.

"But it felt so real! Guru snapped back at Denzel pauses to look back there, in the corner of the room. The sky rumbled and flash of lightning was caught again.

"Felt so real? Pigeon man? Or a dark plague mask with beak? He pauses as he stared back at Guru, who looked back at him. "Thank your lucky stars, Guru". He said as he got up to shut the windows.

"Why? He asked puzzled.

"because you were attacked by Lord Satoru! He said and looked at him for a reaction.

"Lord Sa-Satoru? He managed to say, still hands to his neck.

"Yes! Lord Satoru's skill or ability evolves around 3 things. (Throws 3 fingers up and counts down with it) Fear, Nightmare, Death. Some days he uses a mode of Astral projection to kill his victims, transcending his body through a parallel universe of Nightmares and dark things to get to you. It feels real, looks like a dream but it isn't because at that moment…only if you keep your eyes open. Thereby, being awake is the only way you can live".

"thought you said Akaza is the one who can keep you up at night". Guru said as his breathing settled.

"Hmm(attempts to remember, when he said that) Well, I must have mixed it up…I meant Satoru's the one, who can keep you up all night". He said and chuckled.

"Think this is funny? He groaned at him.

"Hey…am not the one, with a demon problem here. You took his princess, he wants you dead now! It's common sense, besides am only up here because I heard you hitting the bed edges, so I stopped to take a look". He snapped and got up to leave.

"Wait…!

"huh? Do you need anything? Denzel asked looking back at him.

"Well…What do I do? He said looking confused at him.

"Well (looks up and then down again) Consider your night over, I would stay up with you but I have a long day tomorrow. Good night! Guru". He said smiling and opens to the door as he walks out.

"okay! I can do this…don't sleep, stay awake! He says to himself but it would hard to achieve that. He glued at the time it was 2:34 am, he went ballistic as he needed sleep. He ran into the kitchen, flicked the lights on, everywhere and finally drove a pack of coffee into his tea cup.

 Over at the underworld, Lord Satoru went ballistic as his plan to kill Guru, using astral projection didn't work. He gets up from the fire hall and walks through it. Hands to his pockets and an expressionless face with a scary outlook seen. Uramaki is still playing her cello, he pauses at the red curtain and looks at her. She automatically stops as his gaze details her to cut it out now! He groans but remains calm as he moves to the other side of the red Palace.

In Guru' s room, just at his slide window…where the light rain and cold pallets had rested on…A message was in scripted there. "You are quite lucky, Guru!
